Dear Andy:

So great to hear that you are operating a generator system on wood 
blocks.  Do you have a description of the system.  Are you also using 
cherry pits, the world's best biomass fuel?

I can tell you more about the oxygen sensor when I know more about what 
you are doing...

Your pal,

TOM REED   BEF

The signal from the oxygen sensor is indeed 80 millivolts when operating steady-state. This sensor shares it's signal with the Ford computer.
